I think that "slirp" must be I think most generic servers get just this kind of pounding; many universities do not provide IP routing for students, but they do provide unix systems to play with, so things like slirp are common. Similarly getting a unix account is often cheaper than getting a SLIP/PPP account. Slirp isn't old thing, so this isn't yet happening world-wide.

In a system where 40 people are learning to program in C in unix environment, you can be pretty sure to find that someone doing fchown on a tty is quite normal, just like "main() { char b; read("filename", b, 100); }" :-) -- Heikki Suonsivu, T{ysikuu 10 C 83/02210 Espoo/FINLAND, hsu@cs.hut.fi home +358-0-8031121 work -4513377 fax -4555276 riippu SN
